"YAY!" Dylan cheered beginning to race down the corridor towards the exit

Zamy gave a dry laugh. "Trust me, I'm handling weird as we speak. Maybe that gives me some insight into your problem. I want to help Melody."

"If you're sure." Melody looked down at her glass. "Me and Tikal love each other," she said quietly.

"What? Would you mind putting some context into it, that doesn't seem to make any sense. You've barely talked to each other as far as I can tell."

Harmony started running after Dylan, Skye squealing happily on his shoulders. Ziona looked at Skye then at Miles.

"Umm... could you..." she asked, shuffling her feet slightly.

"Oh, all right," said Miles, picking up Ziona and helping her clamber onto his back.

"Now! Let's RACE!" called Ziona. Miles smiled and started to run.

--------------

"I know, I know we haven't but...." Melody looked up and Zamy. "Do you know about the freaky Echidna Soul Touch thing?"

Dylan looked back at the others while running

"Hey! No fair! Why do you two get rides?" he called out

"Yes I've heard of it. Look Melody, I know this might be hard to hear, but you don't really love her. Love isn't some forced, artificial construct. It takes time. What you're experiencing is similar to what Miles did to my head, except in your case it wasn't intentionally done to you and isn't malicious."

"You rwan ahwead!" called Skye,

"And I asked nciely," said Ziona.

"Hey! I know. Dwylan can twake your plwace Zwiona, and you can flwy!" said Skye.

"Me... fly... but.... My wings feel all weird and stuff," said Ziona

"But flwying is awswome!" said Skye.

"It... really is," said Miles to Ziona, with a twinge of sadness in his voice.

------------

Melody wasn't sure if that's what she wanted to hear or not.

"But it... it doesn't feel that way. It feels real. And Tikal say's it feels the exact same for her as it does for Skye."

"You might really really like it! And you should practice anyway! I'm gonna practice changing colours later on!" Dylan said enthusiatically

"It feels real because it's basically tricked you. Someone your age shouldn't be worrying about love. You've got your whole life ahead of you. And for you and Skye to be in a relationship with the same person, that is skirting some very dangerous lines."

Melody was starting to tear up again. "I know it's dangerous but... Skye already knows. We told him. He seemed okay with it but... With his mind altered..." She shook her head. "But I'm the same age as Skye... uh... usually, and he's in love, so..."

------------------

"You... you really think I should?" asked Ziona.

"Yweah, go fwor it!" said Skye.

"What he said. And I should try practicing myself," said Harmony. Miles simply nodded.

"We should all practice TOGETHER!" Dylan suggested rather eager of the idea

It isn't normal for a boy his age either, frankly. And him being ok with it doesn't ease my worries. The opposite in fact."

"Can you let me down Miles? I wanna give it a try!" said Ziona, clearly nervous.

Skye's ears suddenly drooped in disappointment.

"You two got swuch cwool stuff with you chwange. Awll I cwan dwo is clwimb. I cwan't ewven flwy now."

"You can still do magic Skye," pointed out harmony.

"Yeah," said Skye, but he didn't sound any happier.

--------------

"I was... kinda hoping Skye wouldn't be happy with it, so we'd have a reason to...." Melody caught herself before she said 'break up.' "...to end it. But why does it make you worry that he was happy?"

"You had really cool powers before. And your climbing is still cool. A lot cooler than my silly long tongue is. Plus you were able to jump really high! Maybe you can learn to do some cool tricks" Dylan said cheerfully trying to cheer Skye up

Zamy sighed. "Well you see, you might all be fine with it now, but later jealousy will arise as you want more of Tikal's time and affection to yourselves. And that could obviously lead to a lot of animosity between you and Skye."

"You're twongue is cwool," said Skye. "It hewlped us..." Skye looked at Ziona and gulped. "Bwut you thwink I can do cwool trwicks?" he asked, sounding hopeful.

Miles set Ziona down on the floor. She took a couple of paces away from the group, then looked back to stare at her wings. She ran a hand across them, shivering at the unusual feeling.

------------

Melody gulped hard.

"I... should have thought of that. Me and Skye... we are very... Well, I am, and I think he'd be of Tikal." She shook her head. "This isn't fair. This isn't FAIR!"

"Thank's Zamy," said Melody. "But I'm... I'm not sure I can bring myself to end this. These stupid feelings have been growing stronger since I realised what they were."

"You can Melody. For all your sakes you have to. Curse that stupid magic. Why can't they just do things normally?"

"I don't know. Dad said it was something to do with the fact Echidna don't normally do love." She gave a strangled laugh. "And me and Hope called it mind control back then."

(ooc: I kept waiting for Locke to arrive somewhere, but he never did. That's why I had Anna 'arrive'. Locke could just be a corridor behind her. And Anna is with Tikal now as well.)

"I don't think it's cool. I think it's silly and gross" Dylan said sadly. "And yes, I think you could do cool tricks. You just need to practice"

Then he turned to Ziona

"You can do it!"

(ooc: Dylan's right. You're only out of the story if you CHOOSE to make yourself out of the story. P.s. I think Shadow is waiting for you to do stuff with Merlin as well!)

"Okay thwen! I'll fwind swomethwing I can do. And your twongue isn't swilly of gwross!" said Skye, happier again.

Ziona gave a little nod. "Thank's Dylan," she said with a warm smile, the she shut her eyes and began to flap her wings. Somehow she knew exactly how to move them. But she still wasn't used to them. "I don't like this! I don't like this! I don't.... don't..." Ziona had opened her eyes and looked down, seeing that she was now hovering near the corridor ceiling, the floor several feet below. "Wow," she breathed, looking around.
